A little nerve could be all it takes to stop your leaks...

If you think that your only hope for treating overactive bladder is to focus on your pelvic floor muscles, you may be overlooking a different type of approach that's been proven successful for hundreds of thousands of patients: Nerve stimulation. 

It turns out that certain nerves play a critical role in bladder function, and there are devices that can stimulate those nerves to substantially reduce leaks. Many patients find that their symptoms improve by 50% or more with a simple, in-office procedure called sacral neuromodulation. 

Today's guest is Dr. Vikas Desai, a urologist, a board-certified member of the American Urologic Association and a member of the Society of Prosthetic Urologic Surgeons, to tell us more about it.
